Upgrade BB 9700 to OS6

• First, upgrade the desktop manager to version 6. Sync the BB and backup.
• Disconnect the BB, turn off Desktop manager, and run the upgrade you downloaded on your PC.
• Once the upgraded OS is installed on your PC, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete the vendor.xml file. Run loader.exe from this directory and connect your BB, follow instructions to install.
• Connect the BB, fire up Desktop manager. It alerted me to the upgrade and installed the upgraded software. The default program settings were fine.
• Then I used the desktop manager's restore function to fill in my settings and third party apps.
